Bindi Sue, the 8-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, will travel to Los Angeles and New York on Thursday as part of Tourism Australia’s G’Day USA Week to lure more American tourists to Australia.

Bindi is set to perform her stage show “Bindi and The Crocmen” and feature on TV talk-shows including “The Ellen Degeneres Show” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

I wonder if it’s the best idea to let an 8-year-old kid handling that kind of exposure and pressure. I guess Bindi will be reminded by the press about the tragic death of his father, which could be too much to bear for a kid who is far away from home.

Well, at least her manager, John Stainton said that Bindi would be given the choice to pull out of any media engagements no matter how late the notice.
